                 NOTICE OF UNLICENSED OPERATION

                                   Case Number:  EB-05-LA-351
                                   Document Number:  W20063290005

The Los Angeles Office received information that an unlicensed 
broadcast radio station on 107.9 MHz was allegedly operating in 
Cornell, CA.  On December 20, 2005, agents from this office 
confirmed by direction finding techniques that radio signals on 
frequency 107.9 MHz were emanating from your residence near 
Castro Peak, in Los Angeles County.  The Commission's records 
show that no license was issued for operation of a broadcast 
station at this location on 107.9 MHz.   

Radio stations must be licensed by the FCC pursuant to 47 U.S.C. 
§ 301.  The only exception to this licensing requirement is for 
certain transmitters using or operating at a power level that 
complies with the standards established in Part 15 of the 
Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R. §§  15.1 et seq.  Your operation on 
frequency 107.9 MHz was measured at 20, 205 microvolts per meter 
(µV/m) at 35 meters.  This exceeds the allowable unlicensed limit 
of 250 µV/m at 3 meters established in Part 15.  Thus, this 
station is operating in violation of 47 U.S.C. § 301.

You are hereby warned that operation of radio transmitting 
equipment without a valid radio station authorization constitutes 
a violation of the Federal laws cited above and could subject the 
operator of this illegal operation to severe penalties, 
including, but not limited to, substantial monetary forfeitures, 
in rem arrest action against the offending radio equipment, and 
criminal sanctions including imprisonment.  (See 47 U.S.C. §§ 
401, 501, 503 and 510).

UNLICENSED OPERATION OF THIS RADIO STATION MUST BE DISCONTINUED 
IMMEDIATELY.

You have ten (10) days from the date of this notice to respond 
with any evidence that you have authority to operate granted by 
the FCC.  Your response should be sent to the address in the 
letterhead and reference the listed case and document number.  
Under the Privacy Act of 1974, 5 U.S.C. § 552a(e)(3), we are 
informing you that the Commission's staff will use all relevant 
material information before it to determine what, if any, 
enforcement action is required to ensure your compliance with FCC 
Rules.  This will include any information that you disclose in 
your reply.

You may contact this office if you have any questions.

District Director 
Los Angeles Office
